酷暑来袭，热浪逼人，是时候来一杯ice cream（冰淇淋）啦！今天小编带大家来看看关于冰淇淋的那些知识。

【历史】

The earliest ice was eaten in China. According to popular accounts, Marco Polo (1254-1324) saw ice cream being made during his trip to China, and on his return, he introduced ice cream to Italy. The myth continues with the Italian chefs of Catherine de Medici taking this magical dish to France when she went there in 1533 to marry the Duke d'Orleans, with Charles I rewarding his own ice-cream maker with a lifetime pension on condition that he did not divulge his secret recipe to anyone, thereby keeping ice cream as a royal prerogative.

据说最早吃冰的国家是中国。根据脍炙人口的故事，马可波罗在中国游历期间，见证了冰淇淋的制作过程。当他回国后，将冰淇淋介绍到意大利。而传说中意大利公主凯瑟琳·德·梅迪茜1533年嫁给奥尔良公爵亨利二世后，她的主厨们也将冰淇淋这一神奇的餐点带到法国。查理一世奖励其冰淇淋制作师终身奖金，条件是不要将秘密食谱泄露给任何人。因此，冰淇淋成为了皇家独有的美味。
